Biography
Abu Mosa was born in Iraq and became a fighter for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Mosa became a press officer for Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and he lived for war; he was unable to spend holidays with his family. He decided to only go home when something important happened or when he was sick, and he did not buy sweets on one holiday, saying that he would not eat sweets until the people of Damascus and Homs would enjoy the same freedom. Mosa gave a tour of VICE News to the city of Raqqa, the capital of the Islamic State caliphate, in August 2014. He took part in combat with Syrian troops near the Old City of Raqqa, filmed on television. A few weeks later, 50 Syrian troops were killed in the battle and the city fell into ISIS control.

On 22 August 2014, Mosa was killed in an attack on a Syrian Army airbase at Tabqa during the Syrian Civil War. The US Department of Defense confirmed his death on Twitter shortly after.
